Why Dentists Prefer Titanium for Dental Implants


An experienced oral healthcare professional and educator, James A. Vito, DMD, teaches courses at the Misch International Implant Institute and at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. In his private practice, James A. Vito concentrates on implant dentistry, among other areas, and he has trained to perform predictable procedures for his patients.

Implant dentistry involves the substitution of natural teeth roots with artificial ones typically made of titanium. Once positioned in the jawbone, the implant undergoes a process called osseointegration. This happens as the artificial root successfully attaches to the bone and creates a lasting connection.

Dentists utilize titanium because it has the greatest potential for integrating with the bone, or ossifying. Because of this favorable biocompatibility, the immune system permits the presence of the implant, rather than targeting it as a pathogen.

The titanium also serves as a long-lasting solution that is lightweight and feels natural. In addition, should the patient need further dental work, such as the insertion of a crown or bridges, the implant helps facilitate these procedures.
